Quote:

The halls of East High were silent, like they always were at that time of the day, except for the soft, muffled sound of shuffling shoes walking across the empty corridors. There were hardly even ten cars in the staff's parking lot yet, but Kelsi had already been up for an hour and a half and was now entering the deserted school one hour before her first class, her arms filled with music sheets, a pencil safely tucked behind her ear.

Kelsi loved the quietness that surrounded her when she arrived early to practice each morning. For the past three years, actually, this had been her daily routine, after Ms. Darbus, sensing the talent and eagerness to improve in the young girl, had given her access to the theater so that she could practice on the old piano, example which had soon been followed by her music teacher. Each morning, she woke up at half past five, took a shower, ate breakfast and walked to school. The only difference she ever brought to this habit she'd developped was on the few rainy days that occured - those days, she got to school even earlier, catching a ride with her father who left for work at a quarter past six. She could say she honestly didn't care those early hours - the only thing that mattered was the soft music that filled the room as she sat herself on the piano bench and let her fingers fly across the ivory and black keys.

This habit was a result of a slow, and rather lacking, social life, along with the habit of merely sleeping six hours per night. She didn't need more, actually - sometimes even less - and it allowed her to go to bed late, usually after studying or writing music, without a worry as to whether she'd be in good shape the next day or not. Some of the friends she'd aquired in the past year often questioned her about these few things, clueless as to how someone would want to spend that much time in the school they were always eager to leave at the end of the day. But the most simple, and best reason as to why Kelsi loved mornings was that they brought her inspiration. No matter what had happened the past day, if she'd gone to sleep sad or upset or happy, it was always a new beginning with fresh new ideas filling her head, and her best compositions had been written in the quietness of the music room before classes. There she was left alone, seeing as they were always empty.

And that was probably why a light frown of confusion appeared on her face as she neared the room to hear a soft melody hanging in the air - and not just any melody, a song she knew. Because she'd written it. She quietly made her way over to the door, pushing it open lightly as a voice joined the notes that were being played, and she instantly knew who was there without even needing to see him. For one thing, she'd know that voice anywhere - and well, she figured it made sense that he'd be the only person to be in school this early. Of all the friends she'd made during the past summer and first term of her Senior year at East High, Ryan had to be the closest she had. She didn't really know how that figured, seeing as there had been time during the past year when she would have gladly kicked his butt, but then she would have been a bit of an hypocrit - her main reason for being upset with him were usually his lack of backbone toward his sister, and it couldn't be said she possessed so much of it either. But he'd grown out of it, mostly, and Sharpay herself had improved a lot. He was the person she tended to talk with the most, especially when all of their friends were all paired up, and though she'd never said it to his face, she often referred to him as her best friend - in her head.

A soft smile graced her lips as she leaned lightly on the door frame, listening to him in a slightly daydreamy way. It was a bit strange, but the lyrics seemed to have an even stronger meaning to her now, and the most shocking part was his rendition of it - she had to repress a shudder at the memory of the pop, flashy number Sharpay had turned her beloved song into, though at times the remembrance of his silly dancing to the sound of What I've Been Looking For made her giggle just a tad. But that wasn't the way he was singing it now - this was the way it was meant to be. The way she'd showed it to Troy and Gabriella, the way she'd heard it in her mind as she'd written it. With one exception - it was so much more beautiful.

She kept herself from making any noise, even softening her breathing, as she listened to him until the very last note hung in the air around her, before making her presence known. Waiting a few more seconds so that he wouldn't suspect she'd been there the whole time, she made her way over to the piano and cleared her throat a bit, wondering slightly why her cheeks felt so warm when he turned to see who the sound had come from and offered a wide grin as he saw her.

"Hey Kels, I figured I'd see you here this morning," he said cheerfully and all she could do in return was smile lightly as she clutched her music sheets to her chest. What was up with her? "New song?" he asked curiously, his eyes drifting to the papers in her arms.

"I started it last night," she said with a small nod, sitting herself next to him as he scooted over to make some room for her. "But my head is clearer in the morning, and I wanted to see if it sounded alright or if I could make some changes. But why are you here?" she asked a bit confusedly. "I don't usually see you around in the morning."

"I usually go to the theater," he told her with a small smile. "Practice my dance moves and stuff. But actually, I wanted to talk to you today," he added with a thoughtful look, causing her heartbeat to inexplicably speed up. "About the Spring Musical," he precised, and her heart went back to its regular pace as a light 'oh' escaped her lips, and she wondered idly why she felt disappointed.

"What about it?" she then asked, placing the music sheets on the piano to avoid from looking at him. When had she become so awkward around Ryan? It was just... Ryan.

"Well, we both know what you can do with composing," he told her with a soft grin, and she blushed as she thought she recognized admiration in his eyes. "And working with the Wildcats last summer made me realize how much I love putting up a show for people that..." he struggled to find the right words.

"Aren't Sharpay?" she supplied with a shy, but slightly teasing smile.

"Well, my choreographies often get the same treatment as your songs from her," he admitted with a light nod. "But either way, after working with you on 'Everyday' last summer... wouldn't it be great for our very last show? Your music and my choreography?" he asked, his voice gaining in excitement, and the mere sight of him caused her to pick up on it. It suddenly sounded like the best idea of the century.

"That would be great," she said with a nod, grinning lightly. "But..." she then added, a light frown covering her face. "How will we get everybody to do it?"

"Don't talk about it right away," he told her after a few seconds of thoughts. "We'll work on it first, or at least ideas of it, because they might want to add their own ideas to the show, which would of course be the right thing to do. But we can meet up sometimes, talk about it, and discuss it with Ms. Darbus."

"That sounds great," she agreed, mostly happy about the idea of working with Ryan but also excited about the thought of doing this whole show together with the Wildcats. It would be a nice farewell to East High.

"So you're in?" he asked with a grin, and she nodded swiftly, her heart fluttering slightly at the sight of the bright smile on his face. "Great," he told her before standing up. "I'm gonna go now, I feel like thinking up some dance moves, but I'll see you in homeroom," he said.

"And I'll work on some songs," she responded a bit shyly, causing him to smile once more before he bent down to kiss her cheek lightly. "You're the best Kels," he said, oblivious to the deep shade of red her face had turned into as he turned around to sprint out of the room. "See you later!" he called back, the door closing behind him. Her face still heated, Kelsi stared blankly at the sheet of music in front of her, wondering why it was that her fingers were running lightly along the cheek he'd pressed his lips to, letting out a soft sigh before a light smile curled her lips. Grabbing the pencil that was still stuck behind her ear, she moved the first sheet of the new song she'd worked on and scribbled something at the top, nodding with a satisfied smile to herself.

Later that day, Ryan opened his locker as a sheet of music fell down at his feet. He raised an eyebrow lightly as he picked it up, smiling as he read the words at the top of the sheet. Last Chance, duet, sung by Ryan and... blank. His eyes scanned the lyrics and notes that followed before he swiftly took a pen out of his school bag, adding Kelsi's name next to his. His best friend was really something.

POEM:
In My Bedroom

Sitting in my bedroom late at night,
reading a book called "Twilight",
not listening to anything around me but the creaking of my bed,
with images in the book filling my head.

And suddenly i hear a loud Crash,
and I'm thinking "What was that?",
I realize it is only my imagination,
and something runs by, my cat.

Now I'm too tired to read anymore,
and I'm scared half to death,
I think that in the morning,
I can finally take a deep breath.

I'm gonna try to go to bed,
and hopefully have a good dream,
if I am still scaed during the night,
I will try not to scream.

1. Draw a picture in any style you wish

3. Write a poem with at least four verses

Difficulties of Honesty

You know all about me,
You know who I am,
You know I won’t lie to you—
You know that I can’t.

I tried to tell you clearly,
I thought you’d understand,
But now I find I’m facing—
It’s different than I planned.

I’ll always be here for you,
Even when I fall apart;
I’m trying to see you eye to eye,
But you fell and now I’m stuck.

It’s hard to honest
When I see you with her;
I’m hiding my feelings,
I don’t need them anymore;
I tried it time and time again
To tell you what I meant,
But you won’t spare me from this pain,
Am I living in regret?

I thought it might be easy,
Difficulties line my mind.
I’m not trying to complicate things,
I just can’t do it right.

I make myself go crazy,
It won’t go any other way;
It hurts to keep the truth from you,
But I don’t want to bring you pain.

I’ll have to live in terror,
And be feeling this despair.
I’m not trying to push you away,
But you just don’t want me near.

I tried to be honest,
It was easy at first;
But as time goes on,
It just keeps getting worse.
I tried to push you from my mind,
But my thoughts won’t stay at bay.
Even though I have to live through this,
I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Draw a Picture:
It's not very good, but it was fun to make. xD

Computer Picture:
I made this as a request for someone on another forum. (:
